Thanks for the invitation M - I am already booked in Houx - it's tradition now - like so many of these Le Mans decisions! Would be great to meet up with you at some point. Maybe you'd take me for a blast in your beatuiful car if a good opportunity presents itself .

Hope all is well with you, see you soon!

I'm thinking something like this for the Z4 Coupe...hmmmmm...

Would look brilliant if you carried the stripes over the roof and down the rear quarter !!

Someone with a audi should do this

I am thinking of covering the back window of the car with:

"Is it wrong to want the car in front to be a Toyota?" Need to support the new guys.

This will be my first time back to the race for 5 years since my BIG crash at Houx in my Hayabusa Speedster 356.(The missus has been a bit tetchy about it in the past!) This time I'm in the Noble but with a difference. It will be all stickered up to promote my new business venture.. a car squashing app! (Just google 'squash my car' and you'll find us). Hopefully my presence will be known but for better reasons than my last visit!

Hi Fatboy, I remember you being around at the time. Counting up, it will be 6 years this summer!
I'm doing alright but still need operations. In April my upper and lower jaws are going to be cut off and moved forward by 1cm because I stop breathing 47 times an hour at night when the jaw muscles relax and drop back! I'm hoping for the George Clooney look but might just end up looking like a frickin JCB. LOL! I'm still gonna need a hip replacement sometime soon too.
Still, life goes on and a lot of people end up in a worse state just slipping over on some ice.

Yep we're slipping off topic!

Legal stuff sorted 4 years later. My mate, who was driving my car was nicked by the French authorities and given a 6 month suspended sentence plus £400 costs. So a very lucky boy to have gotten away without a big pay out and a fight with Monsieur Grande in the showers over the soap every morning!

There is a law in built up areas of france (towns villages) Priority to the Right! Its not marked on many roads but the bottom line is you can be traveling down a straight road in which you think you have right of way, but a car can just pull straight out in front of you without looking and if you hit it its Your fault! This rule applies to the internal roads within the La sarthe circuit When your in a small Porsche speedster and a car pulls out in front of you there's not exactly a lot of car to take the impact! Have a look at bernhund's Profile to see the results

For the record, I was in the area but was not involved in the accident or its aftermath, I just heard the emergency services etc traveling to and from the scene

Right then....Im going to take this beast down again
